Beep beep beep!
After saying that, she slammed down the phone.
Shi Dafu was not given a chance to speak at all.
The veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping the microphone, were bulging, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew.
The meaning of "the higher-ups inquiring" is... Shi Dafu swallowed hard, his smile more like a grimace.
"Comrade Ruan, look, this flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, it's all a misunderstanding."
Ruan Xianxian raised her eyebrows. "Someone reported me, so I have to go with you?"
Shi Dafu spoke righteously and firmly, "How can a report without evidence be considered a report? The Gewei Association will resolutely resist any attempt to frame the people."
"Did I conspire with the captain to embezzle public funds?"
Shi Dafu's smile grew increasingly bitter. He had been slapped in the face so hard that he had not only lost face but also felt deeply humiliated. However, he did not hesitate to reply.
"Whether you've embezzled or not, just make a phone call to the oil mill to verify. Leave this to me, and I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly."
Ruan Xianxian asked with a half-smile, "Then... I heard there's a dispute over my house in the county town?"
"No!" Shi Dafu shook his head vigorously. "I checked before coming here. There is absolutely no dispute in that courtyard. My men made a mistake."
Then he leaned closer to Ruan Xianxian and whispered, "Or, there are also courtyards with absolutely no disputes."
Ruan Xianxian smiled meaningfully, raised her hand and patted Shi Dafu's arm, "Young man, you have a bright future."
A 47-year-old young man: ...
He rubbed his hands together. "So, what do you think about the misunderstanding between us..."
Given the historical context, even if Shi Dafu backed down, Ruan Xianxian wouldn't confront the Gewei Association head-on; she would put on a smiling face.
"It is indeed a misunderstanding. I will have to trouble Brother Shi to go out and explain to the villagers. Rumors spread like wildfire, and if they get out, it will damage my reputation."
The old village chief almost coughed up blood, "You fucking have a reputation for being a 'Der'!"
They were both cunning foxes, and Ruan Xianxian signaled a reconciliation. Shi Dafu immediately received the signal and walked out of the brigade office with relaxed steps.
As soon as the man left, Feng Bai nodded to Hong Jun and said, "Temporarily requisition the brigade office; you can keep an eye on things outside."
After the captain who had taken Hu Bin left, Feng Bai hesitated several times before speaking, and Ruan Xianxian looked at him.
"If you dare to speak ill of your uncle and slander him, I'll twist your head off and use it as a stool."
Feng Bai immediately retracted his words about to cross the road and carefully took out two work IDs from his jacket pocket.
He handed it to Ruan Xianxian, who flipped through it.
The first document is a certificate bearing the seal of "National Defense and Security".
Chapter Two is the researcher's work permit for the Institute of Aerospace Medicine and Engineering (referred to as Institute 507).
After she finished reading, Feng Bai pointed to the person next to him and introduced the two: "His name is Fan Caicai, and he is the liaison officer assigned to you by Institute 507."
"You'll be contacted through him if there are any tasks from above in the future."
Despite her funny name, Fan Caicai, despite her young age, has the expression of an old-fashioned person, and she nodded slightly to Feng Bai.
"Comrade Ruan and I will now have a discussion. Commander Feng, please excuse us for now."
Feng Bai's lips twitched, and he turned to leave.
The higher-ups have thoroughly analyzed Ruan Xianxian and assigned Fan Caicai, a very meticulous person, as the liaison.
If anyone were more lively, he would be sure his uncle would be led astray within half a month, even with his life on his hands.
It's... pretty good.
As soon as everyone left, Fan Caicai stretched out her hand first, her movements as if she had measured it with a ruler, making Ruan Xianxian unconsciously become serious.
"Hello, I am your contact person and your partner for a long time to come. You can ask me anything you don't understand or have any questions."
Their hands touched and then separated. Ruan Xianxian asked curiously, "Partner? Do you have special abilities too?"
"No," Fan Caicai answered frankly, pointing to her head, "but my memory is better than the average person's."
Having read most of the books and materials in the institute, I can assist you in completing your tasks more efficiently.
Ruan Xianxian said "Oh," and then asked, "So, what's my task?"
"To handle and resolve supernatural events in Black Province, since you are an outsider and located in Black Province, the task will be assigned to you rather than selected."
Of course, you have the right to refuse.
Pointing to the two documents in Ruan Xianxian's hand, he said, "This is a national defense security identity, which makes it easier for you to move around outside."
507's identification should not be shown to others lightly; it can mobilize troops for assistance in times of crisis.
"If even special abilities can't solve the problem, what use is a soldier's flesh and blood?" Ruan Xianxian was simply curious.
Fan Caicai pushed up her glasses. "I mean, in situations where large-area thermal weapon coverage is required."
"Alright!" Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue. "Can you tell me what kind of tasks are usually assigned in Heilongjiang Province? If it's beyond my capabilities, I'll resign as soon as possible."
Fan Caicai: ? ? ?
"Heilongjiang Province has many mountains, so we mainly persuade the mountain spirits that break the regulations and come down from the mountains to cause trouble to return to the forest, or kill them on the spot."
Are there really spirits and monsters in the mountains? And what are the regulations?
Ruan Xianxian was like a curious child, and Fan Caicai was not impatient at all, answering all of Ruan Xianxian's questions one by one.
"Mountain demons refer to spirits that have lived for a very long time, such as bears in Heilongjiang Province."
When we arrived, there was a bear cub on Songfeng Mountain that imitated human actions, luring villagers up the mountain to skin it and eat it alive, causing panic among the villagers several times.
To prevent the bear from retaliating against ordinary people, Institute 507 ordered its execution.
In Heilongjiang Province, these kinds of spirits and monsters mostly cause trouble, unlike in southern Hunan where rice dumplings are more prevalent.
"Are there really rice dumplings?"
Fan Caicai paused for a moment and then asked, "Otherwise what? What do you think is the purpose of 507?"
Seeing that she still wanted to ask, Fan Caicai gestured for her to stop and said patiently, "Why don't you solve the village's problems? We have plenty of time to understand."
He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "That's right!"
The two were noticeably less awkward when they came out, but Fan Caicai was still as stiff and formal as ever.
At this moment, Shi Dafu was spitting as he cursed the villagers and Li Fenchun as if they were his grandsons.
Seeing her come out with a smile of an elder caring for a younger generation, she waved her hand, and two Red Guards dragged Ye Guo, who seemed rooted to the spot, over.
He nodded, addressing both Ruan Xianxian and someone else present.
"I also do not listen to the slander of petty people. This comrade surnamed Ye came to the Revolutionary Committee in the afternoon and reported Comrade Ruan with certainty."
After verification, Comrade Ruan has no ideological or practical problems; on the contrary, she is an advanced and good comrade who has been awarded a first-class merit.
After speaking, he turned to Ruan Xianxian and spoke sincerely.
"Should I take these two comrades who made malicious reports and deliberately undermined the unity of the group away for investigation?"
Ye Guo was terrified. He was perfectly fine when he went there in the afternoon. Director Shi even praised him for his meritorious report and asked if he was interested in joining the Red Guards...
How did things turn out like this overnight?
Li Chunfen was even worse off than him. When she met the captain's eyes, which were devoid of any warmth and filled with a murderous intent, Li Chunfen almost collapsed to the ground.
Ruan Xianxian smiled, showing great magnanimity: "Let it go. I believe they acted on impulse, and besides, Ye Zhiqing and the village chief's daughter are about to get married."
There's an old saying: "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage." When the village holds weddings, they even invite Director Shi to be the officiant.
